Moments later? Meaning just a few seconds? No, it will in practice be
anything from 0 to 2 minutes, or longer if the service is disrupted,
which is not uncommon.

It doesn't matter if it was moments or minutes. Minutes is better. He
probably took the second bomb out of the bag after getting off the first
Circle Line train and before getting on the second Circle Line train.
And he may have needed to set it or activate it. If he was quickly
getting on and off the second train, he wouldn't have time to fiddle
with the bomb while on the train.

He also knows that as he's going up the elevator, a southbound
Picadilly Line train arrives at an upper level. He's not going by
any specific schedule. He's going by his EXPERIENCE with what
happens at King's Cross.


Clearly *you* don't have any relevant experience of how LU operates in
practice. Apart from the fact that you don't go *up* in a *lift*
(elevator) to the Piccadilly at King's Cross, the idea that a Piccadilly
train arrives at precisely the same time every day ("as he's going up
the elevator") is an absurd assumption.

Sorry, I meant escalator not elevator. It was a typo. The front end of
the Picadilly train is near the escalator and the bomb was planted on
the front end of the Picadilly train.

I'd read that the Circle Line is in the deepest tunnel, so I assumed
that the Circle Line passed UNDER the Picadilly Line at King's Cross.
If that's not true, let me know. The bomb on the Picadilly Line
exploded closest to King's Cross, which probably means it was the last
bomb placed on the trains. So, did the bomber go down a level to plant
the third bomb and then go back up to the surface? It doesn't change
anything, but it might be seen as another fact which seems to verify
that the bomber ARRIVED at King's Cross on the eastbound Cirlce Line train.
